Sergey Nazarenko specializes in turbulence, particularly in magnetohydrodynamical systems, superfluids, water waves, Bose-Einstein condensates, geophysical flows, plasmas, and optical media.He is a Research Director at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) at the Institute of Physics of Nice, France (since 2018). He worked as a professor of mathematics at the University of Warwick (1996–2018), visiting assistant professor at the University of Arizona (1993–1996), postdoc at Rutgers University (1992–1993), and researcher at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Moscow (1991–2006). Sergey is the author of the books Wave Turbulence (Springer, 2011) and Fluid Dynamics via Examples and Solutions(CRC Press, 2014).

Verifying Weak Turbulence Theory

A new experiment in wave turbulence achieves the long-sought goal of generating “pure” interacting waves that behave as theory predicts. Read More »
